Question: Dear Board -  why did you only have one adult gate open at todays game? You should of had about 3 adult gate open for the game and there should of been police and stewards and a split crowd.

Answer: The East Fife match was a learning experience for the Board in respect of turnstile arrangements and resourcing.  Bear in mind no-one on the current Board has any great prior experience of derby match arrangements.  We apologise to those who missed part of the action, especially Cowden’s opening goal!  We are not aware of any particular concerns arising from the match as regards policing, stewarding or the decision that segregation was not required.
